Things We’ve Done

As a network, our main goal is to bring people together and facilitate developing and testing promising interventions to prevent violence, then ensuring that new knowledge is mobilized to those who make decisions in these areas. The following activities describe our overall process.

Set policy- and practice- relevant research priorities, based on known gaps in knowledge, for reducing child maltreatment and intimate partner violence and for improving mental health.

Identify promising interventions that address these priorities.

Investigate what we know about the causes and consequences of violence and related mental health outcomes and generate new research ideas through secondary analyses of existing data.
